Dave was prompt in responding to all of my questions/calls and the filing of my dissolution. He was always courteous when we met/spoke and he kept me apprised of everything that was going on. He is extremely knowledgeable and I completely agree in a previous review, he is fair.

Dave is lighthearted but knows his stuff in the courtroom!

Dave is fun and lighthearted, helping client's to stay upbeat even in the stress of family court.
He is easy to get a hold of and clear with what you should expect from the hearings and what documents you'll need.
At first I was a little worried about how casual Dave seemed, but he really brings it in court. He knows the law inside and out and judges respond well to his insight.
My case went just the way I had hoped and much due to Dave's hard work.

About me

Welcome. My practice is one that keeps me in the courtroom -- that is where I like to be most of the time. In both Family Law and immigration, the stakes are relatively high -- in the first instance, the welfare of children often hangs in the balance and in the second, the issue of whether or not a hopeful immigrant or refugee can stay in this country wil be decided. In both cases, hopes and dreams seem to be at the core of the dispute and it is this nuance that motivates my passion for my work.
